Avarice and Lust SculptureAuguste Rodin

576
Auguste Rodin’s sculpture, Avarice and Lust (before 1888), explores greed and desire. Originally part of The Gates of Hell, it features a man symbolizing avarice, adapted from The Falling Man with altered arms, head, and hair. A woman embodies lust, offering her body. Rodin transforms human forms into metaphors, capturing the tension between desire and reality, reflecting his exploration of human emotion and moral conflict.
